I agree why would you do that.
The answer is b that what I think and feel like it is
Answer:
E = 1.45 x 10⁹ J = 1.45 GJ
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy:
Potential Energy Lost by Satellite = Kinetic Energy + Internal Energy
where,
E = Internal Energy = ?
m = mass = 400 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = height = 500 km = 500000 m
v = speed on ground = 1.6 km/s = 1600 m/s
Therefore,
<u>E = 1.45 x 10⁹ J = 1.45 GJ</u>
